About the role

We’re looking for a Senior Director of Performance Marketing to lead the team that drives Duolingo’s paid user acquisition across 100+ markets and our language, chess, and math products. You’ll own the strategy, the budget, and the people, and you’ll be accountable for proving what our spend actually buys. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 12+ years in performance marketing or paid UA, including 5+ years leading teams with managers reporting to you
  • A track record of owning a large, multichannel mobile acquisition budget at a top subscription or high engagement consumer app
  • Deep experience building and defending incrementality tests, saturation analysis, and LTV/ROAS models, not just reporting on them
  • The judgment and integrity to recommend cutting spend when returns don’t support it
  • Fluency with mobile attribution (MMPs, SKAN, privacy constrained measurement)
  • Experience partnering with Product and Engineering on measurement and attribution infrastructure, onboarding and landing experiences for paid users, and tests that connect acquisition to retention
